"Davon Black is the son of the Mafia boss, Alexandra Black and the heir to the Black Dragon Mafia."The information that came out from Micah's mouth hit Marcus like a truck coming out of nowhere. What?! The son and heir of the feared Black Dragon Mafia. This couldn't be possible. Just like Rachel had said the Black family was a well known, well respected and influential family in the city and beyond. He knew that for a fact because he had somewhat socialized with the man of the family once during a sooriee, the husband to Alexandra Black and had also read about them in the news and business papers. He didn't know of Davon but upon thinking back he was sure that the man was from a reputable family. Well, not anymore. There was no way that the man he saw earlier that day was linked to the Mafia. Davon had such an innocent face. It was only by instinct that Marcus didn't like him and knew he was up to something but anyone else could have been easily fooled. Saying that Davon was a bad

Two days had gone by with Rachel still being a stubborn brat to not just the staff of the mansion but also the men of the house. Elias had tried to speak to her on several occasions but she was always quick to turn him away. Micah tried to reason with her and Eric didn't even bother trying, already knowing that if Elias wasn't spoken to them he had no chance.Marcus on the other hand made some effort, trying to let her know about the workings of the world while she was being kept in her room but like she always did, Rachel told him to get the fuck out of her room and die in a ditch somewhere. It was appalling and honestly annoying but Marcus sucked it up and continued about his days. This particular night he laid down on his bed, his head threatening to explode from the migraine he was having. After nights of having Rachel scream at the tops of her lungs to be freed, Marcus' brain had been in an upheaval. Hence, him trying to rest and recuperate. Unfortunately, Rachel had other plans

“I may not like it and I may not want to but for my safety and that of my family, I will marry you Marcus Wei.” Rachel announced, her voice strong like she had come to accept her fate. Marcus us on the other hand was taken back by it. He did plan to convince her to go through with it, yes, but he didn't expect her to come to him about it and much less agree to it all. It was shocking to say the least. "What?" He asked, blinking rapidly as his mind tried to come to terms with her willingness. Marcus’ stoic demeanor failed to hide his shocked facial expression when he heard what Rachel said. Marry him? This was the woman who basically said that she hated men like him. The same woman who accused him of being a gold digger. He understood her apologizing for what she said but considering the marriage, why would she have a change of heart now?"Don't be so surprised at my change of heart. It's for my benefit, nothing more. I'll be safe from Davon and I'll at least secure my inheritance fr

At the end of the meeting with Scarlett and her right hand man, Marcus drove back to the mansion with the memory of their new alliance. He parked his car before alighting it. It was evening now and he still felt some kind of way by it. In fact the cloud of confliction had hung around after he agreed to the deal till they separated. Don't get him wrong he did want Davon out of the way and revenge for Scarlett it he was getting into the middle of a Mafia family feud. Was this really the best choice to handle things? His lips formed a small frown and he shook his head. The deed had been done. He had to go through with it. As Marcus entered his home, he was greeted with a disappointed woman. Her hands were crossed and her lips were downturned as her raven hair covered part of her face and emerald eyes. One look at her and Marcus' mood became a whole lot worse than it already was. He didn't have time to deal with her. At least in the way she wanted.Rachel's mouth opened up to speak to hi

The dreaded day had finally arrived. The day that neither Marcus nor Rachel had expected to come so soon. Marcus' car pulled up to the courthouse where he was meant to get married. He got out of the car looking handsome in an all black suit with matching accessories. Marcus looked at the building and let out a huge breath. He felt a hand on his tense shoulder."Don't be nervous. I know you didn't expect this. You're only doing this to help Rachel and me and for that I'm grateful. You are an amazing man and I can't say that I am more proud of you than I am at this moment."Marcus turned to see his grandfather with a proud smile on his face. Although Marcus was accepting of what he had gotten himself into, his mind was still engrossed with the kind of life he would have to live when he was actually married to someone. He gave Elias a smile and walked into the courthouse with him, Micah and Eric walking closely behind him.Once they entered the building, the group was greeted by the cour
